ml>> don't get confused by the chicken and the egg syndrome... binkd
ml>> came first and the FTSC documents came after ;)

Oli>> Before BinkD and FTS-5005 there was the original BinkleyTerm
Oli>> mailer that defined BSO in 1990.

ml> yes... this is true...

Oli>> The FTSC documented the original BSO de facto standard.

ml> document number, please... i'm unable to find any such document aside from
ml> FSP-1034/FRL-1034 which was the first attempt at documenting BSO back in
like
ml> 2005... it wasn't picked up and anything done with it until 2014...

The document number is in the paragraph you've quoted

http://ftsc.org/docs/fts-5005.003

ml> what standard? please provide the document number...

ml> also remember that binkleyterm is POTS while binkd is internet and the
only thing
ml> common between them is the BSO...

POTS or TCP/IP, the only thing that matters is that BinkleTerm is the reference
implementation for 4D and 5D BSO.
